  • BLAH!

    I would not be surprised if my brain just spontaneously exploded into pieces. If the school and teachers could bestow me with a benevolent respite, my mental stability would greatly ameliorate from the perilous condition it is currently experiencing. I need to be incited by some kind of force to study and work hard, lest I capitulate to the blissful rapture of indulgence called procrastination. The malignant learning environment is profane enough to degrade me into an inaticulate dross, obliterating all of what little brain cells I have left in my brain. My ability to sustain a decent survival is put into question as my once imperious self is plunged into an abyss of pure derrangement. It is impossible for me to procure a grade that can be counted as satisfactory, yet I still study in a cursory method or worse, not at all. My focus often fluctuates while I study.
    Thus it can be inferred that all my torrents of incessant dejection is by the fault of my own sloth and imprudence. I find myself abhorring the odius ways of Asian education, their superfluous amount of tests, and their tedious methods of calculating without the convenience called calculators. Melancholy and frustration is inundating my mentality, and I am fucking sick of trying to type with eloquence.
    Man, it was never built in me, those poetic qualities. Alas, I am not even close to being a romanticist, and I am somewhat relieved about it too. It pains me to even IMAGINE myself seeing the world through rose-colored glasses and sporting usless appreciation and love. I am a practical person, so writing lyrical works was already deemed as impossible. Yet I sometimes find myself filled with emulation when I read a beautifully written piece of work. Again, I assail my own words with contradiction, but enough of the talk of eloquence right now, let us begin the real RANTING.
    TO HELL WITH PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, AND MATH! Those repungent subjects can be blasted into pieces for all I care. True, those useful knowledge is exactly what makes religion less and less appealing, but I am sorry to say that my understanding of those subjects can be described with zero. I have to study now, I have squandered too much precious time trying to type the first two paragraphs. To hell with eloquency as well.

  • SOMEONE SHOULD STICK A PIKE THROUGH MY HEAD

    Directly copied from my Wretch but whatever... This just shows how I can't change the bad habit of procrastinating every now and then.

    I think I am starting to realize that I am indeed stupid as hell. (I can hear some people shouting behind their computer screens: "ABOUT TIME!!!") Anyways... Now I know that I have to study my ass off, despite the fact that I'm obviously not doing what I'm supposed to do and what I'm saying I should do--I am merely procrastinating. Now, let us all forget that fact for now, and listen to my BITCHING. Yes, has been a while has it, TOO BAD NO ONE CAN STOP ME FROM RANTING ONLINE. Not that any one besides my family told me to shut-the-fuck-up yet, but I know that some of my acquaintances has had the thought flash through their mind, especially whenever I had said something really insensitive, retarded, and unthoughtful. Anyways, ranting, yes, I'm getting to it right now. I HATE SCHOOL IN TAIWAIN!! I am seriously regretting the stupidest choice in my life to choose a normal high school in Taiwan, because a procrastinator like me can NOT survive in this... this intense environment of competition... Today I have been shot down to hell with the knowledge (that I actually knew would turn out this way) of my pitiful, pathetic, sorry grades. Man, I think I am indeed the stupidest kid in Taiwan, even what, sixth graders can do better than that, which ultimately leads to the revelation that I am pitifully retarded. I think I shall find that gun I hid somewhere in my room and shoot myself right now. Nah, I'm actually not that depressed, because I just deserved all those shitty grades for procrastinating my fucking ass off everyday. And thus, I conclude this complaint, even though I don't want to, because I am supposed to study my ass off like I said I should.

    --edit--

    I REALIZED THAT I KNEW HOW TO DO MOST OF THE PROBLEMS ON THERE!!! How more retarded can this get? Curse Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, it's all your fault that I procrastinated the night before the test and didn't sleep well!!!

  • And thus the guessing game comes into a temporary conclusion

    Finally. After suffering two days of major headaches caused by those "monthly examinations", the guessing game has come to a temporary halt. Unfortunately for my lazy self, the fact that I'm supposed to study harder than everyone else here because I'm dumber and I don't know their language as well did not stop my procrastinations. My choice of procrastinating after mid-night had proved to be a fatal mistake today. It made me unable to focus on my tests, made my head all giddy even though I caffinated my system in the morning. Come to think of it, going to school on Saterday is indeed annoying, especially when you have to take some hard-ass tests.
    Today was a *particularly* WONDROUS day. So lovely, so happy, I could DIE. Ignore my sarcasm if you are one to be annoyed by it. Anyways, first thing was, I was nearly tardy today because my dad forgot to turn on his alarm clock, and my alarm clock doesn't sound on weekends. My mom had to drive me to school with me on the side being a worry-wart about whether I'd be late or not. Second? I totally bombed my math test, and it wasn't all because I didn't know how to work the problem. It was mostly due to my spontanious blank-outs while taking the test, which brings all the blame back to myself for procrastinating last night too long. I was seriously fading in and out during the test, and not much was done, and none of the calculations I had done seemed correct. (World) History (again, but this time in CHINESE) was okay, because I was too used to guessing my way through history tests, although, in this case in Taiwan, I don't get good grades through guessing. I merely pass, which is quite disappointing, or so to say, because I have taken AP World History. On a side note, I seem to have problems with world history teachers. I have developed a strong distaste for my current world history teacher after she completely messed up the Odyssey. Odysseus was opposed by most greek gods, especially Poseidon, because he used Poseidon's symbol to bring Troy down. But what did my world history teacher say? She said that the trojan horse was the idea of the gods. I nearly fell off my chair. Furthermore, she needs to broaden her knowledge with history, because she failed to mention that the fall of the Byzantine Empire was partially because of the Fourth Crusade, she only said that the Ottomans conquered Constantinople, like our textbook. Seriously, I hate my history class, it's so boring. Even a certain teacher I hate for my life could make history class more entertaining than that teacher of mine! Worse, she loves to pretend to be all cutesy like when she's a fucking old hag, and I had the sever urge to puke my intestines out when I saw her for the first time. An old hag wearing short skirts! Gods, she was worse than Ms. Umeck. And I liked Umeck. I always liked my Language Arts teachers in Georgia. And I MISS LANGUAGE ARTS CLASS SO MUCH I CAN CRY!!!! I have been deprived of essays to sharpen my skills, interesting in-class discussions of boring-ass books (it was the discussions that made the books interesting), the torturous searches for literation devices, imagery, symbolism, and shit like that! The way kids study English in Taiwan is all WRONG. Even if I don't have to take English classes, I have to take the monthly exams with them. And hell, those exams are fucking hard, not because of the actual context of the test, but the SPECIFICISM (sp? Man, my spelling abilities have been in a state of regression ever since I came here to Taiwan), of the tests. I mean, there was this one time that I took their test on this chapter, and the fill in the blanks were "Because my plan was w______e, it was put into immediate use (or something like that). I put "wise", because it fit in the blank with the w and the e. But noooooo the actual answer was "workable". What kind of retarded answer was that?! It wasso retarded, because it made sense in the "DUH!" way. I damn near fainted when I saw my grade. My pride was immediately shot to the ground, it made me so ashamed that I considered shooting myself on the spot. Of course I passed, but not in the good way. I got most off because of my translation problems (in which I thought I had a more ingenious translation but they made the answer too specific that I got points off anyway) and the "blank-filling" (I had to stifle my snicker when I saw this) questions. Anyway, physics is officially impossible for me, I have completely forgotten about how to calculate chemistry questions (especially without the aid of calculators), my chinese lit can be shot to hell, and my history, geography, and biology are on the "barely-surviving" borderline.

  • something written a week+ ago

    Depression.
    That bittersweet sensation just suddenly inundated my chest.
    It silently crept up behind me,
    Slowly eating me away.
    My eyes reddened with sorrow I could not explain
    While my chest,
    Cried out in pain.

    Why?

    Was I nostalgic of Georgia?
    Was I too overwhelmed by a my homeland,
    Was it foreign to me now?
    How ironic it was,
    That I should be homesick of life in the US.

    When I thought that my life in the US was empty,
    Life in Taiwan was still as hollow.

    Not much has changed,
    Not the way I had wanted it to.

    Strange,
    I have felt perfectly fine until now.

    I feel my identity washing away from me,
    Paling from the lack of diversity in Taiwan.
    Everyone acts the same.
    I tried to accept it,
    I even scolded my bilingual friend
    For rejecting the monotonous society.
    Maybe it was because I found it refreshing.

    However, when I closely examined Taiwanese soceity,
    I realized how insipid it could be.
    How the students have not much life,
    Brainwashed by the strict Asian standards.

    Taiwan's just too small,
    I realized.
    A tiny but overpopulated island.
    Getting an ideal job was hard,
    Because opportunities were so limited here.

    Where was my identity?
    Where was my personality?
    I don't know, everything feels a bit fake.

    I knew I was, in no way, white,
    But was I asian?
    My views could easily stray off the asian path.
    I wasn't like my sister, who spent half her life in Taiwan,
    Especially in an important stage like middle school.
    I wasn't like her,
    Who spent the majority of her social life with Taiwanese people.
    Who was I?
    I felt a bit distant here.
    Sure, the students here are very friendly,
    Friendlier than people in the US.
    But stereotyping was inevitable.
    A lot of people are conservative,
    And girls here can scare me.

    I know I lot of people can have misconceptions about me,
    Because I sport a "short" skirt and wear some accessories that "stand out".
    And for now, when I am bathing in sweet ignorance,
    I try not to think about the possibilities.
    Why do we have to tone down,
    Why can't everyone just stand out?
    It's not like I'm "standing out" because I want to be "noticed".
    I just appear like that because I don't like looking dull and un-stylish.
    I worry, but I don't change.
    Why am I complaining then?

    There was no high school drama that is known to me yet,
    But as time progresses, will there be?
    Hopefully, girls in my school aren't anal.

    Maybe I'm feeling a bit weirded out,
    Because normally I am not talkative or motivated to make friends.
    Maybe it's because no one's stereotyping me in the way they were in the US.
    No one thinks I'm weird yet, and no one expects me to be "gothic".
    Is it for the better, or the worse?
    I'm smiling an awful lot that my skin is tired.
    I really hate smiling, but I'm forced to smile at school 80% of the time,
    For the students here are very friendly.
    Ah wells, I'll have to put my emotional turmoil to rest,
    Else I'd suffer a miserable life of confusion and regret.
